Course Objectives
This fast-paced course will give you a broad overview of the social use of information, focusing on participatory librarianship, online collaboration and communities via social networking, and Web 2.0 tools that facilitate learning in the school library. We will examine Library 2.0 thinking, its place in school library services, and what this shift means for school libraries in the 21st Century. We will create and consume personal, information blogs and tap into the read/write web by participating in social networks.
We will also examine the rise of e-reading in the school library, including various electronic book and information formats and the challenges and benefits they present.
We will explore the possibilities and potential for using online social, collaborative, and interactive tools to build learning environments in the school library media center. You will fill your school librarian toolkit with a plethora of educationally-sound technology tools that will prepare you to be a technology leader in your future school district!
New this year: we will study the alignment of the AASL, ISTE NETS, and Common Core State Standards in order to examine how technology can be woven into the school library curriculum to meet the requirements of the new initiatives coming down from New York State. All in all, you will walk away from this course with the technology know-how to become a 21st Century School Librarian.
At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to:
demonstrate an understanding of Web 2.0 and social software
demonstrate an understanding of the principles, concepts and ideas of Library 2.0 and participatory library service
utilize various online 2.0 tools to experience, discuss, and evaluate those tools as they can be related to school library service
demonstrate how the AASL/NETS/CCSS overlap and integrate
identify essential questions and match learning needs to effective and efficient technology-rich learning environments
apply technology tools to produce products for use in teaching and learning
identify, design, create, and facilitate learning spaces through the use of technologies such as blogs, collaborative web/wikis, social networks, and information portal tools
evaluate evidence of the effectiveness of technology in learning
COURSE READINGS
PRE-READINGS
(DO BEFORE COURSE BEGINS!)
Read the Foreword by Joyce Valenza and Chapter 1 of Choosing Web 2.0 Tools for Learning and Teaching in a Digital World (Berger/Trexler).
(you can read this before our course begins or during) COURSE TEXTBOOK: chapters 3, 4, 5, & 7
BLOGS TO SUBSCRIBE TO
You will subscribe to and read the following blogs (we will subscribe to these during class time). These bloggers are the “Movers and Shakers” in the school library and/or educational technology world:
Because this is a summer institute, there will be a pre-course assignment as well as a final assignment that will be due one week after the course ends.
PRE-COURSE ASSIGNMENTS
If you do not already have one, you must create a gmail account for our course.This is non-negotiable. Do this ASAP and email me at kkliegman@gmail.com from your gmail address to let me know you have a gmail account. ALWAYS INCLUDE "LIS 629" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAIL. I will only send emails to your gmail account once I have everyone's.
If you haven't done so already, purchase our course textbook- Choosing Web 2.0 Tools for Learning and Teaching in a Digital World (Berger/Trexler). I am not sure if it is available at the bookstore; I do know it is available on amazon.com. Do this ASAP. You are required to read the foreword and Chapter 1 BEFORE class begins.
If you have never done so before, create an account on DIIGO. Go to: www.diigo.com
If you have never done so before, create an account on Twitter. Go to: http://twitter.com/
If you have never done so before, create an account on wikispaces. Go to:wikispaces.com
Please go to the Unquiet Librarian blog and read the post, What Library 2.0 Means to Me As a graduate library student and future school media specialist, how would you respond to her article? (keeping in mind the "Foreword" and Chapter 1 of our course book as well). Write a response (1-2 paragraphs) in Word or other document and email it to me as an attachment by July 14th. In the subject line put: LIS 629 What Library 2.0 Means to Me.
Please bring a package of INDEX CARDS (4"x6" preferable) - don't buy a huge pack, buy the smallest amount the store sells. The cards are needed for THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS.
You must have a digital camera, with the cables or card for downloading your pictures; if you do not own a digital camera, it is perfectly fine to use your cellphone if it has a camera. You should bring your camera/cell phone to class everyday.
Arrive on time for class; this is very important. If you will be late for class YOU MUST email me and let me know. Leave yourself enough time to get to LIU on time. Lateness (except for a very, very good reason) will play into your final grade. Obviously, because this is a 5-day course, you need to be there every day. Attendance counts. Again, if you must miss a class, email me and explain the reason why.
Bring snacks, drinks, lunch (or you can buy lunch at Hillwood); we do take a lunch break. It is a long day, so bring what you need to be comfortable!
If you have a laptop and you want use it instead of the lab PC, that's fine with me.Just be sure that you can get online on campus (I believe you can set this up in the library). If you do bring your own laptop, whether it is a Mac or Windows, please note that you must download either FIREFOX or GOOGLE CHROME for your Internet browser; Internet Explorer and Safari both have limitations that will make you very frustrated with some of the Web 2.0 tools we will be learning about. You are NOT required to bring your own laptop! iPads and other tablets are fine for note-taking, but since the iPad doesn't support flash, probably not a good choice for our course.
Due to the fact that our class runs all day, I will not be giving any HOMEWORK assignments on Wednesday, Thursday or Monday; however, there will be a weekend assignment given on Friday and there is a FINAL ASSIGNMENT that will be due July 30, 2012.
